ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUE TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. APPROX 2-3 MOS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHAT SO EVER. 3 WEEKS AGO (FROM 15JAN09) THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON I-95. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CAN NOT STEER OR USE BRAKES. THE CAR COASTED IN THE DIRECTION THAT IS WAS STEERING IN. THIS LEAD MY CAR HALF IN THE GRASS AND HALF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. AGAIN, NO WARNING OF ANYKIND. THIS MONDAY (12JAN09) IT HAPPENED WHILE I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR, I WAS ABOUT TO TURN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THIS WAS A REALITY CHECK SINCE MY KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED (LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING).I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TWICE THEY HAVE RUN DIAGNOSTICS,LOOKED IT OVER THOROUGHLY,AND DRIVEN THE CAR TWICE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TODAY THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS WHO STATED THEY HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE NO SOLUTION. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AS MINE OFF THE INTERNET DATED AS FAR BACK AS APRIL 2008. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TWICE AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN NO HELP AT ALL. TODAY,AFTER TELLING THEM WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME BY THE TECHNICIANS,THEY SAID THEY WOULD FORWARD MY CASE ON AND I WOULD HERE BACK FROM SOMEONE IN TWO-FOUR BUSINESS DAYS. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR.I JUST CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER WOULD KNOWINGLY PUT SOMEONE IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION.I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I NEED YOUR HELP. IN THE MEANTIME I AM IN A RENTAL CAR THAT I AM PAYING FOR AND HAVE TO TURN BACK IN TOMORROW (16JAN09) WHEN I PICKUP MY SEBRING. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR AND MAKE MY CAR PAYMENT AS WELL. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SMOKE. THEN THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN AT AN IDLE. NOW, THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS WORN OUT DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHEN OIL CHANGES ARE DONE AT CORRECT INTERVALS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CHRYSLER SEBRING (2007) STALLS OR LURCHES FORWARDS, GENERALLY WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. OCCURS A FEW TIMES PER MONTH (~3) FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE PROBLEM WAS OBSERVED; HOWEVER NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE FROM DEALER. SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN THE CAR LURCHES FORWARDS IT WILL HIT A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION OR HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT MY SEBRING SEDAN IN MAY OF 2006 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. FOR STARTERS, I IMMEDIATELY HAD ISSUES WITH THE RADIO CUTTING OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP, AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT, BUT DIDN'T. MY SECOND PROBLEM WAS MY HORN. IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SOUNDING MUFFLED, IF IT SOUNDED AT ALL. I CALLED ABOUT THAT PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. WHICH I WOULD HAVE, BUT OVER THAT WEEKEND OUT OF NOWHERE, MY CAR STALLED OUT ON ME WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING LIGHTS OR GAUGES. I CALLED A LOCAL TOWING COMPANY TO PICK IT UP, AND THEY IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD SEE RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT I HAD A LARGE HOLE IN MY OIL PAN, AND ALL OF THE OIL HAD PROBABLY LEAKED OUT. SO I TOLD THEM JUST TO GO AHEAD AND REPLACE IT AND WE WOULD GO FROM THERE, THINKING THAT WOULD BE THE END OF IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS WRONG. AFTER THEY REPLACED THE OIL PAN, THEY SOON REALIZED THAT MY ENGINE HAD SEIZED. SO ASSUMING THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE THE ONES TO INSTALL THE NEW ENGINE, I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE UNTIL I CONFIRMED THINGS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I ALSO FIGURED THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS BARELY A YEAR OLD, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I WAS WRONG AGAIN. SO, LONG STORY A LITTLE SHORTER, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE NEW ENGINE, NOR DID THEY EVEN GIVE ME A GOOD PRICE ON ONE. THEIR CHEAPEST ONE WAS PRETTY MUCH THE PRICE OF ANOTHER MECHANICS MOST EXPENSIVE. SO, BECAUSE I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED SOMEWHERE ELSE, MY WARRANTY FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE WAS VOID. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OUT OF IT, AND ITS GOING TO BREAK DOWN FOR GOOD SOON BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP UP WITH THE PROBLEMS. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON, AND HAS BEEN FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, I JUST RECENTLY HAD AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK FIXED, I THINK THERE MAY BE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, AND MY HORN STILL DOESN'T WORK. THOSE ARE JUST TO NAME A FEW. IT HAS BEEN THE MOST UNRELIABLE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I AM ACTUALLY THINKING OF LETTING THE BANK JUST TAKE IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PROBLEM # 1 - STARTED AS INTERMITTENT / NOW CONSTANT. SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY "WACKY". EARLIER IN NOV. 2008, EXHIBITED A PROBLEM THAT I FIRST SAW TWO WINTERS AGO. IN DEC 2006, HAD THE SAME SYMPTOM - SPEEDOMETER GOING WILD. IN THE REPAIR SHOP, THE REP REPLACED INNER & OUTER SPEED SENSORS BASED ON CODES HE SAW FROM COMPUTER. PROBLEM NOT SEEN SINCE 12/06 UNTIL RECENTLY. IN EARLY OCT 2008, ONLY ABOUT THREE BRIEF INSTANCES. NOW THE WACKY SPEEDOMETER IS FREQUENT / CONSTANT. GOING ALONG AT 55 MPH, SUDDENLY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FLIPS TO 10 MPH (PRESUMABLY THE CAR IS STILL REALLY TRAVELING ALONG AT 55 MPH). IN FRACTION OF A SECOND THE NEEDLE SWINGS BACK UP TO 60 MPH, THEN DOWN TO 20 MPH, THEN UP TO 70 MPH, THEN DOWN AGAIN TO 5 MPH... I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT A LOCAL GARAGE. GARAGE TECH REPLACED BOTH INNER & OUTER TRANSMISSION SENSORS ON 12/5/2008 -BASED ON COMPUTER CODES, AND RESET ?CHECK ENGINE? LIGHT. SINCE REPLACING BOTH SPEED SENSORS THE ?WILD SPEEDOMETER? PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS; SWING OF THE NEEDLE IS JUST A LITTLE LESS, ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON (CONSTANTLY) AFTER HAVING SPEEDOMETER SWING WILDLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. PROBLEM # 2 - POSSIBLY RELATED (OR NOT) - AT LOWER SPEEDS (5-30 MPH), THE CAR TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO RESPOND FINE (OTHER THAN THE WILD SPEEDOMETER ISSUE). I MEAN THAT IS THE CAR REGISTERS 1000-2000 RPM, SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE IS RUNNING WELL. CAR SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AFTER DRIVING FOR SOME TIME AT 50-60 MPH, THEN SLOWING TO EXIT (DOWN OR UP A RAMP) WHEN SPEED IS SLOWED TO AROUND 20 MPH, TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFT TO LOWER GEAR (SMALL BUCK CAN BE FELT); THEN CAR SEEMS TO STAY IN LOW-GEAR. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR BUT WHEN THE SPEED IS AROUND 30 MPH, THE RPM IS OVER 3000, CAN HEAR THE ENGINE STRAINING. I PULL OVER, TURN-OFF ENGINE, SIT A MINUTE, RESTART CAR, IT IS OK ONCE AGAIN TO DRIVE. IT CAN GO OVER 30 MPH OR HIGHER AND MAINTAIN AROUND 2000 RPM (UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO 20 MPH (CYCLE CONTINUES). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
ON THE DATE MENTIONED, I WAS DRIVING AN ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR, 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING LX, FROM IDAHO FALLS, ID TO SALT LAKE CITY, UT. I WAS TRAVELING APPX. 73-75MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET FOR THE LAST 50 MILES. I WAS APPROACHING ASEMI TRUCK/TRAILER AND TAPPED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. AT THAT TIME THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE, I TAPPED THE BRAKES TWO MORE TIMES TO TRY TO DISENGAGE THE CC AND THE CAR JUST CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. AT THIS TIME I DECIDED I NEED TO TAKE A MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH AND STARTED SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND STRIKE THE REAR END OF THE TRAILER. THAT CAUSED ME TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND ENTER INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN OF THE I-15. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED AFTER THE WRECK. FOR WHATEVER REASON, I COULDN'T GET THE CC TO DISENGAGE AND IN FACT THE CC CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF THE CAR. THE BRAKES WERE REALLY NOT TOO EFFECTIVE IN SLOWING THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ACCELERATING. *TR
